360mm Damascus Sushi Sword | Handmade Kitchen Knives

The Art of the Single-Draw Slice

In high-end sushi preparation, the quality of a cut directly impacts texture and flavor. To keep raw fish silky smooth, the blade face must glide through in one continuous, fluid pull-cut without sticking or tearing.

Designing a 360mm slicing sword to meet these standards was a monumental process. A blade of this length requires absolute perfection during the forge-welding and quenching phases to eliminate internal stresses and keep the spine dead straight. We opted for a low-layer 80CrV2 and 15N20 twist pattern, giving the steel a striking, marble-like appearance that flows down to the apex.

Every millimetre of the bevel was then hand-ground to achieve ultra-low cut resistance while maintaining strength along the spine. Finished with a fiery red chestnut handle fitted via our heirloom removable system, this 360mm Sushi Sword stands as one of the most ambitious and refined centrepieces ever produced in the KWB forge.
